CHURN-DASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 255,604, dated March28, 1882.

Application filed September 12, 1881. (No model.)

Virginia, have invented certain new and useful lmprovementsinGhurn-Dashers; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, which form a part ofthis specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of achurndasher embodying myimprovement; and Fig. 2 is a perspectiveview'ot' thelower part of the staff, showing one pair ofits wings orstirrers.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both thefigures.

My invention contemplates an improved construction of dashers oragitators for churns, and has for its object to facilitate and expeditethe operation of churning.

It consists in the combination, with a vertical dasher-statf, of pivotedwings or stirrers, substantially as hereinafter more fully set forth,and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the annexed drawings, A is the dasherstaflQmade, by preference, ofwood, and having two or more transverse thimbles, B, through which arms0 areinserted loosely.

Upon opposite ends of the arms 0 are atfixed the stirrer wings or bladesD, which may be made of wood or cast-iron-I prefer the latter on accountof its durability-and are of t the configuration clearly shown in Fig. 2of the drawings, from which it will be seen that each wing is curvedinto an S shape and has a (3611' tral slot or opening, a, through whichthe arm 0 carrying the wings is inserted. The upper and lower curvedparts of each of the wings are perforated, as shown at b b, for thepassage of the cream as the dasher is being rotated.

This dasher churns very rapidly, is easily operated. and can be readilycleaned when desired. The thimbles B,it will be seen, project a littleon bothsides of thestaff through which they are inserted, thuspreventing the sides of the vibrating wings D from bearing against thestafi', which would interfere with their free and unobstructed motion.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States The combination of the dasher-staffA, having transverse thimbles B, projecting on both sides thereof, arms0, inserted loosely through said thimbles, and S-shaped wings D, securedupon arms O, and having the apertures a b,

substantially as and for the purpose herein.

shown and specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereuntoaffixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
